If nothing unexpected happens, four ninth-level generals will besiege Suzhou in the near future and deal a fatal blow to Soochow. This kind of country-destruction would have been accomplished if Wang Jing had not been in the army.
As the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army at this time, he should come in person, which would be more convenient whether he was attacking the city or persuading the Sun family of Soochow to surrender.
Wang Jingruo is not here.
He Ruobi and the other four generals did not dare to make decisions without authorization.
There are some decisions that only the monarch can make.
Moreover, if Wang Jing arrived in person, He Ruobi and Murong Shaozong would be happy even if they said no. Since ancient times, it is difficult for generals who lead troops to destroy a country to die well.
Because after destroying a country with his own hands, or even beheading the princes, the general who led the army to destroy the country will naturally be shaken by the authority of the monarch.
The king has always been very suspicious. If he has such thoughts in his mind, he will put on colored glasses towards the general.
However, when the king personally leads the troops to defeat the enemy country, he does not have such trouble.
In the original history, the more famous generals ended badly, the more taboo they were about this, just like He Ruobi.
Wang Jingneng would be happy if he came.
The fourth day of the first lunar month in the fifth year of Taichu.
Wang Jing led 10,000 elite guardsmen and rode south, quickly bypassing Changshu guarded by Lu Su and Lu Meng, and approaching Suzhou.
His movements can be discovered by Lu Su and Lu Meng in Changshu City.
They also knew that Wang Jing's move south would definitely be detrimental to Suzhou.
But Lu Su and Lu Meng had no choice. Wang Jing was gone, Gao Xi was still in charge of the central army, and Shi Wansui led several powerful generals to keep an eye on them. Even if they wanted to send troops back to Suzhou, they couldn't.
"Suzhou is in danger!"
In Changshu City, Lu Su couldn't help but sigh. He felt a little regretful. If he had known that he would be trapped in Changshu City with reinforcements when he went north, he might as well have left some troops in Suzhou before going north.
Make Suzhou look not so weak.
But then he thought again, if he left soldiers and horses for Suzhou, Changshu would be at a disadvantage again.
With the joint efforts of Lu Su and Lu Meng, plus so many soldiers, they were on the verge of collapse under the strong attack of Huai Army Shi Wansui.
Then the Soochow soldiers and horses in Changshu are weakened, which may lead to the destruction of the city and the death of people.
Lu Meng still had injuries from his fight with Shi Wansui. It was obvious that he was no match for Shi Wansui.
He was silent for a while, and then he reluctantly said, "I hope my lord and the others will be fine!"
"The situation is dangerous right now. If you are not careful, you will lose everything!"
Lu Su is very optimistic about the current situation in Soochow.
It has been a short time since the Huai Army sent troops southward. In such a short period of time, the troops and horses of the Huai Army marched forward singing loudly, while the soldiers and horses of the Soochow Army should have been defeated continuously by the defenders in various places.
So far there is not even a single piece of good news.
It seems that the black night has blocked all the light, making people unable to see the future and feeling despair.
"Does Mr. Zijing have any good ideas to save the situation?"
Lu Meng's eyes flashed and he looked at Lu Su, with a trace of expectation deep in his eyes.
Lu Su shook his head slowly without saying any words.
And Lu Meng also fell into silence.
In fact, it was not that Lu Su had nothing to say, but that he did not want to say it and it was not convenient for him to say it.
Is there any way to remedy the current situation? Of course!
And it was very simple, as long as he took the initiative to seek peace from Wang Jing, gave up his ambition to dominate the world, and expressed his willingness to join the Huai army.
In this case, it can at least ensure that the Sun family of Soochow will not be liquidated.
can continue forever.
The situation was like this, and Zhuge Kongming had nothing to do. However, Lu Su and Sun Quan were at odds with each other, and he was still very optimistic about Sun Quan.
Even if someone wanted to persuade Sun Quan to understand the overall situation, it shouldn't be him.
The same goes for Lu Meng. He is also Sun Quan's trusted general. All he can do is help his lord defend Changshu.
He has no control over what happens in Suzhou and cannot control it.
…
at the same time.
In the Suzhou government office hall.
Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong came to see Sun Quan at the same time and talked about the current situation in various parts of Soochow.
"My lord, Yuwen Chengdu and Zhang Hao have captured Taicang and Kunshan, and will soon cross Yangcheng Lake and threaten Suzhou..."
"The situation is so corrupt, I'm worried that even if the eldest son returns to Suzhou, he won't be able to save the overall situation!"
Gu Yong said with worry on his face.
Zhang Zhao stroked his beard, glanced at Sun Quan who had a serious expression inadvertently, and nodded slightly secretly. No matter what, even if he looked down on Sun Quan in his heart, he had to admit that Sun Quan was indeed very dignified and magnanimous.
Soochow is like a boat in the waves, in danger of capsizing at any time.
But there was no fear on Sun Quan's face.
Very calm.
This alone is better than most of the princes and power lords in the world.
Sun Quan said slowly: "As long as the eldest brother can come back, plus Gong Jin, Soochow Wu may not be incapable of fighting! Yuan Tan, don't be too nervous."
Gu Yong thought for a while and didn't speak.
"Count the time, Bo Fu should be arriving soon!"
Zhang Zhao said suddenly.
At this time, the footsteps of the attendant came out, and an attendant came in a hurry.
"Wujiang sent urgent military information!"
When Sun Quan heard this, his heart suddenly trembled, as if he had a bad feeling. He took the letter, which contained urgent military information sent by Wujiang Guards through special means.
First of all, the Wujiang defender has seen Sun Ce.
Sun Ce led 300 elite cavalry and had already passed through Wujiang, but then, Wujiang's guard's scouting horse spied to the south that a Huai army group was marching in the wilderness.
The number of Huai army soldiers and horses is roughly calculated to be about 40,000 to 50,000.
Looking at the direction, he was heading towards Suzhou.
Peng!
Sun Quan suddenly slapped the wood gum, stood up directly, walked two steps left and right, stopped suddenly, slowly calmed down his agitated mood, and handed the military information sent to Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong.
He fell into silence.
When Zhang Zhao saw the military situation, his hands trembled and he almost couldn't hold it, "This... why did the Huai Army react so quickly?"
This was beyond his expectation.
Gu Yong also saw this military situation and did not speak for a while. He was obviously shocked. Then he calmed down and glanced at Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao.
He looked hesitant.
"My lord... the Huai army is following General Sun towards Suzhou. We have no chance to reorganize Suzhou's forces... If my lord wants to preserve the clan, there is still time now!"
"If we delay the opportunity any longer and want to see the movements of Liu Song's army, I'm worried that the Huai army's arrival in Suzhou in the future will be detrimental to the Sun family!"
Gu Yong originally wanted to shut up, but after thinking about it, he slowly spoke out.
Sun Quan's blue eyes were like a dim light. He raised his head to look at Gu Yong and said word by word: "Does Yuan Tan want me to surrender?"
Gu Yong sighed: "Does my lord still have the ambition to compete with the Huai army at this time?"
