Crossing the Battle of the Three Kingdoms

Zhou Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Everyone is loyal, Yu Xin accepts it, but where else can I go?"

One of the guards replied: "The governor, there are several counties in Yangzhou, and I can help the lord to make a comeback."

Yangzhou itself is on the verge of precarity, and it is impossible to count on it to turn around.

At this moment, Zhou Yu finally understood why the overlord would rather die than live in Wujiang, because he had expected that if he had no chance to stand up, living would only be more painful.

"choke!"

Zhou Yu pulled out his sword fiercely, and shouted with his neck on his back: "Go, you all go, or Yu will die in front of you!"

Zhou Yu threatened to die, these soldiers had no choice but to leave reluctantly.

Disbanding these soldiers and horses, Zhou Yu glanced at the gradually extinguishing fire in the city, a few tears dripped from the corner of his eyes, and slowly closed his eyes.

The hero has no way to go, where should he go, Zhou Yu thought for a long time, finally made up his mind, carried the unconscious Sun Ce on his back, and went away without looking back.

Zhou Yu lost his fighting spirit and dismissed the army, and the bloody battle in the city continued until dawn. After Wei Yan took the initiative to order not to push in, the two sides tacitly stopped to rest.

In the battle last night, although Li Jun trapped Sun Jun, he suffered heavy losses. If he really wanted to take it by force, he would have to pay at least [-] to [-] casualties. This is not the result Wei Yan wanted.

A strong attack was not enough, so Wei Yan decided to persuade them to surrender. In order to avoid the loyalists of these Yangzhou generals, Wei Yan adopted open and aboveboard propaganda. Even if the final effect was not great, Sun Jun's determination to fight to the death would be broken.

Sure enough, when Li Jun appeared in the war zone between the two sides and shouted, Sun Jun had a commotion, and no matter how the general stopped it, it could not be calmed down.

After all, under the choice of life and death, most people will choose life.

The trend of the times, the heart of surrender spread in the army, Sun Jun's generals knew that when Li Jun launched an offensive again, he might be defeated.

Rather than being defeated and captured, it is better to voluntarily surrender, and there are some options.

After some consideration, Chen Wu of the South Gate sent someone to notify Wei Yan that he was going to negotiate the surrender.

Knowing that Chen Wu took the initiative to contact, Wei Yan knew that the persuasion to surrender was more than half successful, so he hurried to meet in person at the center of both parties.

The two were originally enemies, whether there was much intersection or not, Chen Wu didn't want to be polite, so he expressed his intentions directly.

"General Wei, Wu Zizhi knows that there is no hope of breaking through the encirclement now. If the bloody battle continues, it will only waste the lives of the soldiers on both sides, so he intends to surrender."

"But Wu has one condition, that is, after surrendering, Wu doesn't want to stay in the army, but wants to go back to the mountains and forests and live a stable life."

This condition is not excessive, but there is one point that Wei Yan has to guard against.

"Yes, but General Chen will stay in Jingzhou for one year. He is not allowed to leave during this year. He will send people to monitor him. After one year, he will be free. The general can go wherever he wants."

Wei Yan's reply was because he was afraid that Chen Wu would go to Yangzhou again and continue to throw the army to resist.

Chen Wu also knew Wei Yan's intentions, thought for a moment and said: "Okay, Wu agreed, if that's the case, let's go and hand over the army to General Wei."

"Don't worry, don't worry." Seeing that Chen Wu was about to leave, Wei Yan hurriedly spoke. "General Chen, I still have a small favor. I want you to come forward and help persuade the others to surrender, so as to avoid unnecessary bloodshed."

Chen Wu didn't have much confidence in persuading others to surrender, but he still decided to give it a try. After all, he was fighting with his colleagues, and he couldn't just watch them die in battle.

"Okay, but Wu can't guarantee that they will accept the surrender."

"It doesn't matter, as long as General Chen comes forward, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will remember this favor." Chen Wu was willing to go, Wei Yan quickly replied, letting him dispel his worries.

Wei Yan said so, and Chen Wu was not a mother-in-law. Under the leadership of Li Jun, they went to the three gates to persuade them to surrender one by one.

Under the leadership of Chen Wu, these generals chose to surrender regardless of whether they were sincere or not. After all, in this situation, they could also guess the result of a deadly battle without surrender.

In this way, Wei Yan easily solved this problem, Jiang Xia has now belonged to Li Jun, and Sun Ce's forces have completely lost the ability to resist detours.

Wei Yan won Jiangxia, and he was not in a hurry to join Gan Ning, but chose to digest the interior, wait until it was completely stable, and then decide whether to send troops.

In just a few months, Yangzhou lost four counties, and half of the eight great families abandoned the Sun family and hid themselves to wait and see the changes in the current situation.

In Yuzhang, Sun Quan hadn't closed his eyes for several days, and the reinforcements were delayed. According to Li Jun's advancing speed, Yangzhou might be completely occupied by Li Jun in another month.

Sun Quan experienced the feeling of powerlessness again. This time, he was even more desperate than when Sun Jian died in battle.

Most of the assistant ministers left behind by Sun Ce advocated surrender, leaving Sun Quan at a loss as to how to choose, and there was no news from Jiang Xia for a long time.

"Ah." Sun Quan shook his head helplessly, closed his eyes and prepared to squint for a while, but Zhang Zhao hurried over with a happy face.

"Second Young Master, reinforcements are here, reinforcements are here..."

"what!?"

"Really? How many people are there?"

"Second Young Master, there are more than [-] people, and they are led by two veterans, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai."

"Huh, as expected, my Sun family is immortal, tell me quickly, where are the two generals?"

"Second Young Master, don't worry, it's less than a day's journey away, and he should enter the city in the evening."

……

Chapter 787 Reunion

Upon hearing the news, Sun Quan was so excited that he was revived with blood and his face was radiant. He immediately ordered someone to arrange a banquet, and he couldn't wait to go out of the city to meet him.

After receiving the two generals Cheng and Huang, Sun Quan finally felt at ease. With this [-] army, not to mention counterattack, there must be no problem in defending the city.

But after being suppressed for so long, will Sun Quan defend the city honestly?

Back in the city, Sun Quan made a big fuss and made the most noise, letting the people in the city know that Jiangxia's army returned to aid, and Yangzhou was going to return to the Sun family's dominance.

Sun Quan's move was to stabilize the hearts of the people and to shut up those officials who surrendered.

This move had some effect, and Yuzhang City, where people were panicking, was finally much more stable.

Jiefeng Xichen had a big meal, Cheng Pu and Huang Gai rested overnight, and went to meet with Sun Quan early in the morning without waiting for Sun Quan to discuss how to choose next.

When Sun Quan learned that the two men had come, he thought for a while, gathered all the officials, and prepared to show his resolve in front of everyone.

When everyone arrived, Sun Quan said: "Everyone, I don't need to say what the purpose of my brother sending [-] troops here."

"So in this battle, our army can only win, not lose, let alone surrender. If someone says to surrender again, the lighter will be dismissed from office, and the more serious will be the barbarians!"

In fact, without Sun Quan letting go of his harsh words, these surrenderers would not jump out again. After all, they wanted to surrender because the situation forced them.

"Second Young Master, don't worry, we will fight Li Jun to the end."

Although he knew that most of these were perfunctory, Sun Quan was still very satisfied. "Okay, we will be united, and Li Jun will be able to drive them out of Yangzhou."

"General Cheng Pu obeys the order and orders you to lead an army of [-] to fight against Zhang Liao and retake the Lujiang River. General Huang Gai orders you to lead an army of [-] to retake Kuaiji."
