Sun Quan once hesitated for several days over whether to fight or surrender.
When he decided to fight, he decided on the strategy of dispatching troops within less than a stick of incense.
Everyone present was not stupid, and they clearly felt that Sun Quan had already made up his mind, but Zhang Song just happened to say it, and he agreed.
Now Sun Quan was in a state of rage, and a sharp sword separated him from his ministers.
But the strategic issue was so important that it affected the success or failure of this battle. Zhang Zhao finally couldn't help it.
He knelt on the ground with a bang and said: "My lord, please consider the long term!"
It's not that he thinks that sending troops to Hefei will definitely go wrong, but that this kind of matter should be discussed in detail by all Jiangdong's important officials and should not be taken lightly.
In this era, kneeling was not practiced, especially for an elder like Zhang Zhao, who knelt down to Sun Quan for the first time in his life.
But Sun Quan, who had already sat down, did not feel respected at all. He snorted coldly, stood up again and said: "Sir, sir, will Cao Jun stop and wait for us? Sir, sir, Mr. Xuande's men and horses We are still in Xiakou, but we have not taken one step back!"
Zhang Zhao had never seen such an angry Sun Quan.
In his impression, Sun Quan had never been polite to a minister like him, but today...
Zhang Zhaolao burst into tears, raised his head and said: "My lord! You should at least wait until Gong Jin comes before making a decision!"
At this moment, he no longer cared about civil and military opinions, and he asked himself that he was only doing this for the six counties of Jiangdong and had no selfish intentions.
Sun Quan stared at him coldly and swallowed the curse words on his lips. In the end, you are all in harmony and I am an outsider!
Lu Su was also breaking out in a cold sweat. He knelt down with Zhang Zhao and said, "My lord, we'd better wait until Gong Jin comes..."
"Zijing, are you like this too?"
Sun Quan pulled out the sword on the table with a "swipe" and said angrily to the officials: "Gu's father attacked Dong Zhuo from the north and drove the Xiliang cavalry back to the pass. Gu's eldest brother took over the six counties in Jiangdong without any effort. . The lonely governor's army fought against Huang Zu in five battles, and won five out of five battles!"
"I asked you all, do you know how to do war?"
The ministers were silent.
They finally understood that once the rift between the monarch and his ministers was created, it could no longer be reconciled.
Sun Quan was no longer a young man discussing important matters with them, but became a high-ranking monarch.
A king who speaks his mind.
And the initiator of all this, Cao Wu, laughed and said: "Don't panic, generals! The Central Plains are the foundation of Cao's thieves. Once Hefei falls, Cao's thieves will lead his army back north in embarrassment. By then, my lord will have already captured Jiangling and sealed the throne. If they have no way to retreat, all they need is Duke Xuande and our army to attack together, and the situation in Jingzhou will be solved!"
Sun Quan finally smiled and said, "That's right! Zi Qiao still knows my feelings!"
Pang Tong frowned and said: "General, our army alone defends millions of people..."
Sun Quan said: "Don't worry, I will send a general with 10,000 naval troops to help, and we will live and die with Duke Xuande!"
Pang Tong sighed and said: "In that case, I suggest on behalf of Duke Xuande that you please send Zhou Langjun to help!"
Cao Wu rushed to say: "Zhou Lang leads the world, how can he be left to defend the city? He should be allowed to attack Hefei on the frontal battlefield!"
Cheng Pu said: "Everyone knows Gong Jin's ability, so he should be allowed to fight in the most difficult Xiakou battlefield!"
He did not say who would command the Hefei battlefield if Zhou Yu went to Hefei, but in Jiangdong, besides Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu had the highest prestige in the military. In terms of qualifications alone, Cheng Pu was even more senior than Zhou Yu.
Xiakou held on and never looked back. Hefei attacked with great speed. It was obvious which one had the opportunity to make a contribution.
Immediately afterwards, several more people spoke.
Since Sun Quan would not allow any debate on strategy, everyone started arguing over who would go to Xiakou and who would go to Hefei.
Sun Quan sat back slumped, his face ashen. He suppressed two waves of arguments with thunderous fury today, but a third wave arose.
He gradually understood that the disputes between the various factions in Jiangdong that Zhang Song and Pang Tong told him actually existed. Jiangdong was never monolithic.
The only ones who could understand the situation in Jiangdong were two outsiders. The only one on his side was Zhang Song, and even Lu Su did not support him.
How could his heart not bleed?
His hands were trembling, and just when he was hesitating whether to get angry a third time, the curtain behind his seat opened, and a man came out.
But it was Da Qiao who had been listening behind the curtain.
When Da Qiao came out, the whole audience, including Cao Wu, was stunned.
It wasn't because Da Qiao was hiding behind that he was stunned - Da Qiao was Sun Ce's widow, so it was okay to hear the discussion.
But because of Da Qiao's clothes.
She wore bright armor and a white-feathered helmet that was much larger than her head.
White armor and white helmets reflected light in everyone's eyes. The armor obviously didn't fit, but paired with that stunning face, it looked like a goddess descending to earth.
Heroic and powerful.
Her eyes were red and swollen, obviously from crying.
She spoke without a trace of tremor in her voice, which was obviously thoughtful.
"My lords, you are unwilling to defend Jiangxia, so Sun Qiao, the widow of Sun Bofu, the rebellious general and Wuhou, is here. Although I am a woman, I am willing to go to war on my husband's behalf!"
Her words were not fierce or impassioned, and she did not need to swing her sword to express her will, but in just a few words, she spoke with force and sound, and it sounded like gold and jade.
"Snapped……"
The sword Sun Quan had just drawn fell.
"Boom!"
Cheng Pu and Huang Gai knelt down, crying.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
All the ministers in the audience, except for the three envoys, knelt down.
Sun Quan also turned around and bowed.
He remembered that afternoon in the third year of Chuping, he and his brother received the news of his father's death together, and a generation of fierce generals died at the hands of Huang Zu.
The seventeen-year-old brother has since taken on the responsibility of the family. He has made a living among the princes. With his bravery and bravery, he has gained Yuan Shu's trust and welcomed back his father's old tribe.
Relying on his martial arts skills, he swept across Jiangdong and gave the Sun family their own territory.
However, jealous of talents, his brother killed too many people and offended the interests of the family. He was assassinated at the age of only twenty-five.
In his eight years of shining time, there were not many heroes in this era who could compare with him.
If God had given him another ten years, maybe everything would not be what it is now, maybe the plan on the bed would have been realized long ago.
But Sun Quan is not Sun Ce after all. At the age of nineteen, he was hunting tigers and playing in the mountains one moment, and he was sitting in the position of lord the next moment.
Before he was ready, it was his eldest sister-in-law, Da Qiao, who worked with him to check and balance the ministers Tuogu, and then turned around to marry the four surnames in Wuzhong. It took another eight years to kill Huang Zu and avenge his father. .
Maybe Jiangdong needs an arbitrary Sun Ce from the beginning, rather than a Sun Quan who checks and balances all parties.
He decided that from now on, together with his eldest sister-in-law, he would turn the Sun family into an iron plate, suppressing Jiangdong, and no longer be subject to checks and balances by others!
The armored Da Qiao supported him and said: "Zhong Mou, you are good at making decisions before the battle without being sloppy! My sister-in-law does not understand military affairs, but she supports your decision. Our Sun family is bound to attack the enemies who come to occupy our mountains and rivers. Get out!"
Sun Quan burst into tears and shouted in response.
Today's drama finally came to an end. Cao Wu confessed his crime and left.
Unexpectedly, it was Da Qiao who turned the tide and suppressed the situation temporarily.
However, his goal has been achieved, and the chain plan has come to an end.
No matter who goes to Jiangxia, Jiangxia is no longer the main battlefield for Sun Quan's troops.
Then Cao Cao would have enough power to wipe out this compromised Sun and Liu coalition.
The situation of the Battle of Chibi...
It shouldn’t appear again, right?
When he came out of the hall, the afternoon sun shone directly at his door. He raised his head, covered his eyes with his hands, and looked at the sky.
There was actually that shadow in armor in his heart.
Inexplicably, I remembered a poem written by the same woman.
You should be a hero in life, and a hero in death.
I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong.
Sun Ce and Sun Bofu are probably such heroes. He and Xiang Yu are really similar. They are the same young and energetic, the same bravery, and the same empty regrets. It's just that Sun Bofu died too early and failed to compete in the Central Plains.
Da Qiao, on the other hand, is a true heroine. At least in this era, Da Qiao, wearing a helmet and carrying armor, is worthy of the word hero.
