    (Thank you to the alliance for the double support! Thank you Zhao Wuxie 2014, UG, Hao Muding, -Tianma Xingkong-, Yongxue) In the battle between the Dragon Wolf Army and the Jiangdong Army at Xiakou, the latter suffered a devastating blow.  :.  Nearly ten thousand elite members of the Jiangdong Army died, some fled, some were captured, and some surrendered.  Of the hundreds of warships, half were sunk and the rest were captured by the Dragon and Wolf Army.  When the strategic location of Xiakou was captured by the Dragon and Wolf Army, the last remaining city without soldiers to defend it, people were in panic and Shaxian City could be defeated in a snap.  In the middle of June, the dragon and wolf army, with the power of great victory, sailed with hundreds of ships and thousands of sails, crossed southward against the current, and marched to the banks of the river.  Xun You, on behalf of Commander Longlang and General Ma Han, entered the city to persuade them to surrender.  Of course, the target of this persuasion to surrender is no longer Sun Quan, but the various families in Jiangdong, and the Sun family is just one of them.  At this point, there is no need to continue the war, and the Jiangdong family will no longer support the Sun family. Therefore, Xun You's persuasion to surrender this time is a success.  On June 20th, represented by Zhang Zhao, Qin Song, Chen Duan, Li Shu, Cheng Pu, Yu Fan, Ling Tong and other important officials from the famous families went out of the city one after another to pay homage to the general to show their sincerity in surrendering.  Soon, another very important person, Sun Jing, the patriarch of the Sun family, also submitted the seal, register, and surrender form to the general on behalf of the Sun family in Jiangdong.  At this point, the Jiangdong forces completely surrendered, and the Dragon Wolf Southern Expedition came to a perfect end.  Why did Sun Jing surrender?  The reason is that Sun Quan was critically ill and Zhou Yu was dismissed.  Even though Sun Quan is not as powerful as his brother, the Little Overlord, he is still a man who can throw a halberd and shoot a tiger. In addition, he is young and strong. No matter how miserable and depressed he is, he will at most fall ill. How can he be critically ill?  The truth is that before a person is critically ill, the word "seriously injured" must be added.  That day, Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, and Jiang Qin were all hit by skyfire missiles in Xiakou, among which Zhou Tai was seriously injured.  Not out of danger yet.  Huang Gai and Jiang Qin were both wounded in the flesh, and Sun Quan was also hit. But the bad thing was that he was very unlucky. Huang Gai and Jiang Qin were both wounded in the hands and feet, and they were fine after they pulled it out.  Even the wound did not need to be bandaged, but Sun Quan was "shot" in the abdomen.  In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Sun Quan held back his words, but when he got on the boat, he couldn't bear it any longer, and he passed out before reaching Shaxian.  He was rushed to a secret stronghold in Puqi Lake, thirty miles south of Shaxian.  Medical workers were invited to rescue him.  The reason why he was not sent back to Shaxian City was that Zhou Yu deliberately blocked the news to avoid dealing a fatal blow to the morale of the army, which was on the verge of collapse.  It took Sun Quan three days and three nights to wake up from his coma.  But this awakening is not a sign of improvement, because it is a painful awakening.  Sun Quan¡¯s situation is just like that of later generations in the era of thermal weapons. He was hit by exploding shell shrapnel or grenade fragments into his body and had to be surgically removed, otherwise the prognosis would be dire.  In the late Han Dynasty, there was only one person in the world who could perform this laparotomy operation.  This person is Hua Tuo, a master of surgery.  But Hua Tuo has no fixed abode and travels all over the world. With the advanced information collection and transportation of this era, he could not even hope to find a real person in less than a year and a half.  Therefore, all the medical workers could only watch the wound become infected and suppurating, and the injury continued to worsen, and finally Sun Quan woke up from pain.  After Sun Quan woke up, he also knew that his life would not be long.  Back then, his elder brother was Sun Ce, the little overlord.  It's just a cut on the face, and the old wound bursts and dies.  Now he has a hole in his abdomen, his insides are burning, and his fever is not going away.  Every breath felt like being cut by a sharp saw. It was like being in a state of purgatory. Every extra day of living was like suffering.  Even so, there is not much chance of suffering, because he can die at any time.  When Sun Jing held the talisman and the surrender form, she went to the general's camp on the bank of the river outside the city to apologize and ask for surrender.  Sun Quan, who was dying by the Puqi Lake, was holding Zhou Yu's hand: "Gong Jin, with his talent as a king, he will serve as an official in Luoyang, and he must be reusedahem" In just a few days, Jiangdong Zhoulang has turned from a heroic figure to a haggard one.  He was unbearable, his appearance was pale, and there was a trace of hoarfrost on his temples.  You know, he was only twenty-seven years old at this time.  Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "I was entrusted by my late lord to help the Duke succeed, and I am determined to do so. Although Ma Han is an outstanding person, he has the appearance of disrupting the government and hindering the king. If he follows him into Luoyang, there will be a bloody storm. Luoyang  Although it is good, it is not a place for us to stay, so we don¡¯t want to go." Even though Sun Quan was dying, he was horrified when he heard it: "Ma Han cough cough cough he actually" Zhou Yu sneered: "Jiangdong is lying.  In today's world, who else can compete with Ma Han? Liu Biao of Jingzhou is a senior citizen, and his sons and nephews are both powerful. Ma Han can command a great victory with just one letter.  Liu Zhang of Yizhou was weak and unintelligent, and he was often restrained by the state's aristocratic families. Ma Han only needed to send an eloquent person to Chengdu to divide and disintegrate, and promised to surrender.  The two states are at peace, and Xiliang is under the control of the Ma family. However, how should the imperial court reward such a great general?"  Position, when considering things, it is natural to start from the perspective of the superior, and it is natural to think of the original suspicion of Zhou Yu.  Ashamed?I am also sincerely convinced by Zhou Yu's analysis.  Indeed, even a lord like him was always afraid of someone as powerful as Zhou Yu.  Ma Han's power is a hundred times greater than that of Zhou Yu. How can the emperor, who still doesn't know where he is, face this behemoth and powerful general?  Since ancient times, if a minister is stronger than a king, which one will end well?  No matter how you look at Ma Han, he doesn't look like a loyal minister. Instead, he looks more like a hero in troubled times who has different ambitions and takes advantage of the chaos to rise.  After the successful southern expedition, returning north to Luoyang, this arrogant general will definitely have a fierce collision with the new king.  As Zhou Yu said, bloody Luoyang is no place for a gentleman.  "In this case, how should Gong Jin deal with himself?" Zhou Yu smiled calmly: "It is difficult to achieve the ambition in life, so why not climb to the top. From then on, Yu closed his door to thank the guests, settled in the mountains, and did not care about the world." Sun Quan was furious again.  Cough, I felt dizzy and my breath was getting messy. I forced myself to say the last sentence: "My mother and my young brother entrust it to Gong Gong Jin" "The late lord, the lord's mother and brother are also Yuzhi.  Mother and brother." Zhou Yu knelt down solemnly and saluted, and solemnly promised, "My lord, please don't worry, I will do my best to keep my mother and brother safe. My lordmy lord!" In Zhou Yu's sad cry, he has not yet shown his majesty.  Sun Quan, the future lord of Wu, died suddenly on the bank of Puqi Lake, thirty miles south of Shaxian, which was later named Chibi.  After that, Zhou Yu kept his promise and refused Ma Han's recruitment many times and refused to serve as an official.  He spent his whole day climbing mountains with beautiful things, expressing his love for the mountains and rivers, and never mentioned political affairs. He actually lived for more than 20 years, far exceeding his original lifespan.  In July, the Southern Expedition began.  Ma Han left Tai Shici as the governor of Jiangxia with a garrison of 10,000 troops. After packing up his troops, he led an army of 30,000 dragons and wolves back north.  However, Ma Han's route back north was not to return along the original road, but to enter the Han River and go north along the river.  From the route point of view, there is nothing wrong with this approach.  The army went upstream, passed through Jingling, entered Nanjun, passed through Yicheng and Xiangyang, and soon entered Nanyang.  It only takes ten or eight days to return from Nanyang to Luoyang.  This is the fastest route back to Luoyang from the north, and the whole journey is only more than 2,000 miles.  The route seems to be correct, the only problem is that it passes through Xiangyang, which is Liu Biao's base camp.  Anyone who is not blind can see that Ma Han's move was to take advantage of the victory in the Southern Expedition to hunt rabbits in the grass, and the Sun family in Jiangdong and the Liu family in Jingzhou could be eliminated by one person.  ¡­ ¡­ Mid-autumn in August has passed, the weather is getting colder, but the atmosphere in the Xiangyang Prefectural Mufu Assembly Hall is dull and depressing.  After listening to the chief registrar Kuai Liang read about the battle between the Dragon Wolf Southern Expedition and the Jiangdong Army that took place in Xiakou, every civil servant and general of the Jingzhou clan present raised their sleeves to wipe sweat from time to time, as if the meteors and fire showers were coming towards their faces.  Kuai Liang stopped talking for a long time, and the hall remained silent. Everyone's heart was heavy, and they were all thinking about the same question: outside Xiangyang City, tens of thousands of dragon and wolf troops were waiting in formation, with hundreds of trebuchets lined up, and huge furnaces on both sides.  The raging iron balls were thrown into the flames one after another. When they were pulled out, they were red and blazing Can they stop it?  "This is a copy of the military report reported to the imperial court by the general. I specially sent a copy to Xiangyang. Do you know what it means?" The speaker was Liu Biao, the leader of Jingzhou. At this time, Liu Biao was already sixty years old. Although his face was covered with light powder,  , but they can't cover up those conspicuous age spots, and as Zhou Yu said, his eight-foot-long body is also slightly stooped, and he is getting old.  Cai He, the commander-in-chief of the Jingzhou navy, said: "The dragon and wolf army returned north and took the shortcut to Jingzhou. They were afraid that our army would attack them, so they used this report to intimidate me, so that I would not attack and provide supplies along the way" Liu Biao's nephew,  Liu Pan, the captain of Changsha, said coldly: "Brother Cai, do you mean that the Dragon and Wolf Army will pass around the city?" Cai He was evasive: "That must be the case." At this time, the young son was only thirteen years old, but he was already on duty to participate in politics.  Liu Cong, sitting under Liu Biao, said loudly in a childish voice when he heard this: "This is to use force to force people, to defeat Guo by false means." Liu Biao fondly stroked the young son's head and said calmly: "Lian  The young man knew what he was planning. Ziping thought he had been in peace for too long and had forgotten the danger. " Cai He looked stern.  The generals in the hall were also speechless, and everyone felt as if they were in a mirror. This was not Cai He's slowness, it was clearly his intention to welcome the general.  This is also the common thought of all the forces in Jingzhou present here, but it is just not convenient to express it verbally.  Liu Qi suggested: "Why don't we gather skilled craftsmen and make that trebuchet? Can't we counter the dragon and wolf army?" Everyone was speechless. This idea sounded like that, but how could such a large weapon be so good?  Imitation?  No drawings, no objects, no clue.  What's even worse is that a large fleet of military ships is coming from hundreds of miles away. It's only at this time that the work is started, and what's being built is just a toy.  Liu Biao waved his hand: "The dragon and wolf are the emperor's personal soldiers, and the general is a relative of the clan. We must not make any mistakes. What I mean is that I just want you to come up with a strategy, which can not only allow the dragon and wolf army to cross the border safely, but also protect me."  Jiang Biao is peaceful." Everyone looked at each other. This is too high a request. Ican't do it.??Ah!  For a whole moment, no one said a word, and the atmosphere was once again oppressive, until it was broken by a hasty report from outside the house.  "Zhang Xiu reported to Wancheng, commanded five thousand troops, raided Xinye, and captured the city in half a day. At this time, with Captain Hu Che'er as the vanguard, he led three thousand infantry and cavalry towards Xiangyang!" When Liu Biao pushed down the table, he stumbled and lost his voice.  : "Zhang Xiu mistook me!" (To be continued.)
