Chapter 1744 Do you call this a pirate?
Chapter 1742: You **** call this a pirate?
Jingzhou, Xiling County, the seat of Jiangxia, was the base camp of the Sun-Huang coalition at this time.
Under Liu Xiu's pressing pressure, Huang Zu, who only had one county, was in danger.
At this time, Huang Zu could not resist Liu Xiu on his own. Only by asking for reinforcements from outside could he possibly survive this disaster.
But the eldest brother, the Jingbei Qin Army, now also has too much to take care of. In desperation, Huang Zu could only ask for help from Jiangdong Sun Jian, who had had a grudge against him.
Sun Jian also had the opportunity to eliminate Huang Zu and completely occupy Jiangxia. However, considering that Liu Xiu's attack was a greater threat, he settled for the next best thing and joined forces with Huang Zu to fight against Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu's army had been victorious in consecutive battles and had captured six counties in Jiangxia. However, as the Sun and Huang families joined forces, the Chu army became more and more difficult in Jiangxia, and even forced Liu Xiu to increase his troops from Jingnan in order to hold on. previous results.
Liu Xiu increased his troops, and Sun Jian had to increase his troops, otherwise the situation in Jiangxia would be difficult to maintain.
Soon, the troops mobilized by the Wu and Chu families in Jiangxia reached nearly 100,000 troops, and the rear area was naturally empty, but now neither side was able to sneak attack the enemy's rear area.
"My lord, Jiaozhou has only surrendered to Liu Xiu not long ago, and the Taiping Army has not completely returned, so it is impossible for Liu Xiu to send troops from Jiaozhou to attack Jiangdong in the short term." Sun Wu said with confidence.
"Um."
Sun Jian nodded and said with a smile: "In this case, our army does not have to worry about the rear. We can also concentrate our strength on a decisive battle with Liu Xiu."
As soon as he finished speaking, soldiers rushed in and reported anxiously: "My lord, something bad happened. A large number of pirates appeared in Wu County and Kuaiji County. After these pirates came ashore, they massacred villages and destroyed strongholds, killing and wounding countless people."
"What?"
Sun Jian and Sun Wu screamed at the same time. Sun Jian hurriedly asked: "How many pirates are there?"
"Nearly 20,000 people. At present, Qu'a County in Wu County and Yongning County in Kuaiji have been captured by pirates.
After these pirates entered the city, they burned, killed, looted, raped women, and committed all kinds of evil. Tens of thousands of people were killed and injured, and the two counties were reduced to empty cities. "
"What?"
Sun Jian and Sun Wu exclaimed even louder, and then they both gritted their teeth in anger.
At first, they thought that these pirates were disguised by Liu Xiu's troops, hoping to force the Wu army on the front line to withdraw their troops. But now it seems that they have nothing to do with Liu Xiu. After all, Liu Xiu would definitely not do such a thing as massacre. Dry.
Liu Xiu's behavior is quite benevolent. When he attacked Jiaozhou, no matter how difficult the situation was, he never used a knife on the people. Now that he is at the peak of his reputation, he is even less likely to do something like massacre to ruin his reputation. thing.
“Most of the pirates around Jiangdong have been eliminated by me, so where did so many pirates come from?” Sun Jian said with a puzzled look.
Sun Wu's eyes were filled with grim expressions, and he said solemnly: "My lord, other forces must have intervened."
“Could it be Liu Xiu?” Sun Jian asked.
Sun Wu shook his head: "It probably has nothing to do with Liu Xiu, but we can also take this opportunity to tarnish Liu Xiu's reputation."
"good idea."
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Sun Jian's eyes. Sun Wu's implication was that regardless of whether Liu Xiu did it or not, even if Liu Xiu could prove his innocence in the end, this basin of dirty water would be poured on Liu Xiu's head to distract him. attention.
“The most urgent task is to wipe out these pirates as soon as possible. If they are allowed to massacre the city in Wu County and Kuaiji, our Wu Kingdom may really suffer.” Sun Wu said with a solemn face.
“Where do the troops come from?” Sun Jian asked.
"The frontline army cannot move lightly and can only rely on the county soldiers in the rear."
"There are nearly 20,000 pirates this time. Can they be defeated by the county soldiers alone?"
"In fact, the combat power of the county soldiers is not weak. As long as they are led by good commanders and fierce generals, they can definitely drive back the pirates." After saying this, Sun Wu took the initiative to ask for orders: "Wu is willing to lead the army to destroy the pirates."
“No, no, no.”
Sun Jian heard this and quickly shook his head and said: "Liu Xiu is a greater threat. Wu brother must not leave the front line."
As soon as Sun Jian finished speaking, Sun Ce and Sun Quan stood up at the same time and said in unison: "Father, I am willing to lead the army and drive away the pirates."
Seeing this, Sun Wu thought for a while and said: "The eldest son is brave and decisive, and the second son is both wise and brave. He will definitely be able to repel the pirates and enhance the power of our army."
"Okay, in that case, Ce'er, you will be responsible for destroying the Kuaiji pirates."
After saying this, Sun Jian looked at Sun Quan again and said: "Quan'er, you are responsible for destroying the pirates in Wu County. Considering that you are young, I will send General Zhou Tai to assist you."
Sun Quan was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "I will definitely live up to my father's expectations."
Sun Ce and Sun Quan immediately took office and rushed to Wu County and Kuaiji to take charge of the matter. However, this time they were not ordinary pirates, and their cunning was far beyond the two brothers' expectations.
Sun Ce’s opponent this time is Akechi Mitsuhide, and Sun Quan’s opponent is Tokugawa Ieyasu, both of whom are top famous generals in the history of Japan’s Warring States Period.
After Sun Ce learned that Shan County was besieged by pirates, he immediately led 6,000 county soldiers to support them. However, when they arrived, the pirates had already fled and could only stare at the sea in silence.
Sun Quan blocked Tokugawa Ieyasu in time, and launched a fierce battle in Fuchun County with 8,000 county soldiers and 10,000 Japanese pirates. As a result, both the battle formation and the generals were completely defeated by Tokugawa Ieyasu.
In the end, if Zhou Tai had not fought desperately to save him, Sun Quan might have died in the battle, and more than half of the 8,000 county soldiers would have been killed or injured.
After the defeat, Sun Quan was no longer able to encircle and suppress Tokugawa Ieyasu, and could only cling to Wu County, where he was in charge. He watched helplessly as Tokugawa Ieyasu manipulated and acted recklessly in Wu County.
“Second Young Master, spare your life, spare your life, I really didn’t know that these pirates could have such a strong fighting force.” the Fuchun County Magistrate cried.
Sun Quan picked up the Fuchun County magistrate with an angry look and roared: "You **** call this a pirate? These are obviously the elite of the Japanese army."
Sun Quan really thought that his opponent was a pirate, and he was careless in underestimating the enemy, so he rushed to the war. As a result, the opponent showed superb qualities that were not possessed by pirates at all.
Through clothing, weapons, and language, Sun Quan could easily analyze the origin of the other party. After all, Japan and Sun Wu had not had much exchanges over the years.
Had he known that the enemy was the main force of the Japanese army, Sun Quan would have been fully prepared and would never have started a decisive battle so foolishly.
“Immediately pass on the news that the pirates are Japanese pirates to my eldest brother and father.”
After saying that, Sun Quan slumped down on the ground. He thought he would show off his skills this time, but instead he was embarrassed and humiliated.

In Xuzhou, when Zhu Di learned that the rear was attacked by pirates, two counties were massacred, and tens of thousands of people died, he was immediately shocked and angry.
"Di'er, the main force of our army needs to resist the Song and Wei coalition forces. We cannot mobilize them lightly. We can only use county soldiers to deal with the pirates." Fan Zeng said with a serious face.
"They are just pirates. They are just a ragtag group of people. It is enough to have county soldiers." Zhu Di said with a cold face.
“Who are you going to send as the commander-in-chief?”
“I, the king, will go in person.” Zhu Di said sonorously.
