Killing system of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 127 Sun Zhongmou's Desperation

Pan Zhang led his recharged soldiers and charged directly through Lei Xu's line of defense.

After Lei Xu chased to Wuhu, it was already daylight.His soldiers were exhausted after fighting all night.If it weren't for the special emphasis on endurance training in Zhang Yi's military exercises, they might not even be able to hold weapons.

Pan Zhang originally thought that he could defeat Lei Xu, but he didn't expect that Lei Xu's subordinates still had a certain fighting power.So Pan Zhang changed his attention and chose to break out.He needs to return to Dantu and report back to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan inherited more than 3 soldiers from Sun Ce, and with the recruitment this year, there are a total of 5 soldiers.But the defense of each county needs more than 1. Tai Shici and Cheng Pu lost more than 1 in successive failures. Zhou Yu's reinforcements this time can be regarded as nearly 1 (including the Wanling defenders). There are more than [-], and five or six thousand of them are sailors.

Moreover, the only generals under him who can fight are veterans Huang Gai, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Pan Zhang, Zhu Zhi, etc., and those who are most capable of fighting are basically killed.

Especially Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu's death left him at a loss.Before his death, his brother once told him, "If you are not sure about domestic affairs, ask Zhang Zhao; if you are not sure about foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu."

Now is the time when foreign affairs are not resolved, but Zhou Yu died, which made Sun Quan feel very desperate, what should he do?
In the lobby, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Qin Song, Zhu Zhi, Lu Fan, Hu Zong, Huang Gai, Jiang Qin, Pan Zhang and others were all looking at Sun Quan. They were summoned for a while.

"What should be the current situation?" Sun Quan looked down and asked a little silly.

Huang Gai immediately cupped his hands and said: "My lord, for the present plan, it is better to retreat to Kuaiji and unite with Shanyue to protect ourselves. Then train the soldiers in logistics and wait for the right time, and then plan to make a comeback."

Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Mr. Huang, is there still time for me to make a comeback?"

Huang Gai replied: "Zhang Yi betrayed Mr. Cao, Mr. Cao will be angry. After the north is conquered, he will go south. Then we will have a chance to make a comeback?"

Sun Quan was not a child, so he immediately heard the flaws in Huang Gai's words, "If Duke Cao doesn't go south, wouldn't we have no chance?"

Huang Gai couldn't answer.

Sun Quan shook his head. Huang Gai's opinion cannot be accepted. He is a hardliner and will only choose to fight to the end.He looked at Zhang Zhao: "Mr. Zibu, what's your opinion?"

Zhang Zhao asked: "Zhang Yi has now occupied four of the six counties in Yangzhou. His army strength is several times that of the lord's, and he has countless generals under his command. His general trend of occupying Jiangdong has been established."

"Why did Zhang Zibu raise the morale of others and destroy his prestige?" Huang Gai asked dissatisfied.

Zhang Zhao was not angry, but asked, "General Huang, how do you compare with Generals Taishi and General Han when you charge into the battle? How do you compare with Cheng Gong and Zhou Gongjin when it comes to making decisions before the battle?"

Huang Gai really wanted to say that he was better than them, but he really couldn't say that.For the four people Zhang Zhao mentioned, he was at most a brother of Han Dang, and he was really not as good as the other three.

Zhang Zhao continued: "Even Cheng Gong and Zhou Gongjin were defeated and died. If we want to fight against Zhang Yi, it is hard to compare to ascending to the sky."

Zhu Zhi said at this time: "When the two armies confront each other, we should pay attention to the right time, place and people. The right place and people can be controlled, but the time cannot be controlled. The victory or defeat is unknown before the battle. How does Mr. Zibu know that we will lose?"

Zhang Zhaoyan said: "When Zhang Yi captures Wanling, he will definitely attack Wu Commandery to the east. Zhang Yi's army can easily capture Wu Commandery, cut off the road to Kuaiji, and prevent reinforcements from coming. At that time, we will only rely on the northern part of Wu Commandery. If you can feed thousands of people, how can you withstand attacks by tens of thousands of them?”

After Sun Quan heard this, he was also a little frustrated, "What should I do?"

Zhang Zhao said: "For the current plan, my lord should go north to Guangling and surrender to the imperial court. Only then can the Sun family's inheritance be preserved."

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao in surprise, "Take refuge with Cao Cao?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head, "It's not Duke Cao, but the court."

"Is there no other way to go?" Sun Quan was very unwilling.

At this time, Pan Zhang walked out tremblingly and said, "My lord, the governor has left a will."

Sun Quan's eyes widened immediately, and then he was ecstatic: "What about Gongjin's will?"

Pan Zhang was a little afraid to say it, but everyone else was waiting for his next words and looking at him, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "The governor said, the Lord can choose two paths. One is to go north and join the court, and the other is to go north." Surrender to Zhang Yi."

"Surrender to Zhang Yi?" Huang Gai asked angrily: "How many of us did Zhang Yi kill? How can you surrender to Zhang Yi if you have a blood feud with us?"

Zhu Zhi said at this time: "The two armies are fighting, and life and death are at the mercy of God. How can you lose your mind because of this? I think it might be better to surrender to Zhang Yi."

Sun Quan was puzzled, "Why?"

Zhu Zhi said: "Zhang Yi is a man of character, and his burial of Tai Shici, Cheng Pu, and Zhou Yu is a clear proof. His pre-occupation of Jiangdong will definitely buy people's hearts. The lord surrenders, and his life will be safe. In order to appease Jiangdong, Zhang Yi can The lord is rich and has nothing to worry about. Zhang Yi has not yet married a wife. If the lord is willing, he can make her a younger sister. Whether he can re-elect a high position is unknown? But Cao Cao is a cruel man. He killed Bian Rang, killed Lu Bu, and slaughtered Xuzhou. Worrying about life."

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. He had already ascended to a high position of power. It would be better if he could regain his power.

Lu Fan said at this time: "No matter who the lord turns to, it's better to be a rich man."

Sun Quan was disgusted for a while, he had always had some opinions on Lu Fan.Back then, Lu Fan was in charge of Sun Ce's finances, and Sun Quan once asked for Lu Fan for personal matters, but Lu Fan needed Sun Ce's permission before giving it.For this matter, Sun Quan has always had opinions on Lu Fan.Of course, according to historical records, when Sun Quan himself was in power, he knew the importance of being loyal to his duty and reused Lu Fan, but he has not yet.

Zhang Zhao said at this time: "Zhang Yi cannot vote. He is a man who deceives the world and steals his name. He is definitely not the owner."

Sun Quan didn't know who to listen to. Huang Gai advocated going south to Kuaiji, but he didn't want to go to a barren land.The remaining two opinions are all persuading him to surrender, but the object of surrender is different!One is Cao Cao, the other is Zhang Yi, the other is treacherous and cunning, and the other is unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. It seems that he should choose Zhang Yi more.

However, according to the opinions of the two, he was more optimistic about Zhang Zhao. After all, Zhang Zhao was more capable and famous than Zhu Zhi.

But he never thought that his subordinates had already started to advocate his surrender, so how could he defeat Zhang Yi?If he does not surrender, he will die.
