Chapter 139 Sun Quan is scared
"What did you say? All Yi Dao fell? Zhu Ran was captured?"
The shock in Lu Xun's heart was beyond words.
Zhu Ran, that was the general who guarded Jiangling with 5,000 elite troops and was able to hold Mount Tai in the face of Cao Wei's tens of thousands of troops. As a result, the Shu army only dispatched a partial division and came over the mountains and ridges, and the whole area from Xiaoting to Yidao was completely lost.
Pan Zhang was beheaded and Ma Zhong and Zhu Ran were captured, which shows the ferocity of the Shu army's offensive.
Before the war began, Lu Xun was worried about the loss of Yi Dao, so he specially sent Zhu Ran and Pan Zhang to jointly defend. In the end, the most worrying thing happened, and Yidao fell.
Even if there were 20,000 fish, the Shu army would have to catch them for a month!
This also means that the entire Jingzhou is wide open. As long as Sun Huan is defeated again, Wu Jun will be completely out of danger!
"Commander! We have no time now. The last general has invited more than 10,000 troops to go to Yiling to help General Sun!" Ding Feng stood up at this time and asked for the battle first.
At this time, Sun Huan's situation was already extremely difficult, and he suddenly went from the forefront of his own defense line to being deeply trapped in enemy territory. Zhuge Liang's attack on the city became more and more fierce, and the grain road was fully exposed to Ma Di's troops.
If the support is late, this Soochow general will probably be honored!
However, Lu Xun sternly refused as always and rejected Ding Feng's request for a fight without hesitation.
"No! We can't rush into battle now, otherwise we will be in danger of being divided and defeated by the Shu army! Have you forgotten how Yingbu defeated the three armies of the Chu army?" Lu Xun stopped again without saying a word. He accepted the generals' request for battle and immediately made the final decision.
"I will write to the Supreme Lord and ask for more reinforcements. Ding Feng will lead his troops south to guard the public security and prevent the Shu army from attacking this place."
"As for General Sun, he is the most popular general in Soochow, and he can still hold on to Yiling. Even if he cannot defeat him, he is capable of withdrawing from Yiling, so there is no need to worry!"
"No one is allowed to go to war without my order!"
It can be said that although Lu Xun was not an excellent offensive general, he was still very good at leading troops.
At this moment, the Shu army crossed the Yi Mountain and went down the Yiting Road, and their morale was strong. The leader of the army, Ma Su, was a famous offensive general in Shu. At this time, sending troops and horses to rush for reinforcements would mean death.
It is said that Ma Su only has a thousand soldiers at hand, but if you believe it, you are dead. Yishan Mountain is not steep, so the Shu army can send a large number of reinforcements to Xiaoting at any time.
Therefore, Sun Huan cannot be saved, and there is no way to save him! It would be a taboo for military strategists to go to war now!
Therefore, Lu Xun could only adjust his deployment immediately and divide his troops to guard the public security to prevent the Shu army from sneak attacks. At the same time, he will speed up the gathering of troops and horses, and at the same time write books and go to Sun Quan for help.
The troops in the Jingzhou theater alone could not stop them, and the Shu army was about to rush out. Moreover, there are many people in the Jingzhou Army who cannot be trusted. At least Guan Yu's old troops must be watched more closely.
It has to be said that everything Lu Xun did was extremely correct because after Ma Su conquered Yidao, he led more than a thousand soldiers and horses to cross the Yangtze River near Jingmen after dinner. If Lu Xun sent troops to help in a hurry, I'm afraid he would have to give Ma Ye another record.
Within ten days, Yiling Sun Huan couldn't hold on any longer. With his flanks lost, his morale plummeting, and the Shu army onslaught, Sun Huan lost the twin cities of Yiling.
After struggling to gather the remaining troops, they fled in panic, only to be hit head-on by Chen Shi who arrived in time in the Yiting area. Sun Huan and only a few attendants threw away their horses and armor and fled from the mountains and forests.
Since then, the Soochow defense line has been completely lost, and the Shu army has advanced by water and successfully fought its way out of the Three Gorges.
"Prime Minister! You Chang has captured Yidao!" After Yiling was conquered, Ma Su's record was handed over to the people below. Looking at the battle report, Zhuge Liang felt inexplicably familiar.
Hmm... I dreamed of returning to the street pavilion.
Fortunately, I was prepared, and this time there was no explicit military order for Ma Di. Otherwise, we will have to go to Chengdu to find His Majesty to get him, and we will have to waste two pieces of paper...
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly, smiled slightly and said,
"You Chang did a good job and completed the order I gave you! After I return to Chengdu, I will go to His Majesty to reward you."
"But now, we should immediately move forward by land and water and arrive at Yidao to station!"
Now Soochow and the chicken thieves did not rush to help immediately. However, the prime minister was not discouraged, and still ordered all the ministries to go down the river as usual and arrived at the front line of Yidao to station.
Lu Xun, on the other hand, stationed in Jiangling and waited for another month before slowly leading 50,000 troops to resist.
It is worth mentioning that this time Cao Wei did not sit back and watch. While the Shu army was attacking Wu, Cao Xiu once again gathered troops from Huainan to station in Hefei, eyeing the east of the Yangtze River with eager eyes.
This time there was no Sima Yi to restrain him from the side, and Cao Xiu was already in charge of the entire Huainan war zone. Although he suffered a huge defeat, with Cao Xiu's status, he could still mobilize 70,000 to 80,000 troops to defeat Wu.
And Cao Rui fully supports his second uncle, which is much better than his good-looking father.
Suddenly, Soochow was surrounded by enemies, and all the battle reports of the frontline's defeat and emergency were sent to Jianye.
When Sun Quan saw all this, his whole face turned red and warm.
"The Shu thieves are arrogant! The Wei people are short-sighted!" Sun Quan was so angry that he wanted to cut the corner of the table again. The situation now was completely beyond his control.
According to Sun Quan's strategy, he united with Shu Han in the west and attacked Cao Wei in the north. Relying on the reputation of the Battle of Shiting and the recognition of Shu Han, he quickly secured the throne and entered the card table.
Otherwise, facing the two emperors of Shu Han, Cao Wei, and King Wu, he would not have the confidence to speak.
But what's going on now? Suddenly, Shu Han and Cao Wei joined forces to beat Sun Quan!
Is there any heavenly principle? Is there any law?
"Supreme, there is no need to panic! The matter has not reached the most critical moment yet!" Fortunately, Lu Fan stepped forward to speak to Sun Quan at this moment.
"The Supreme Lord can order a general to guard Ruxuwu and defend the Wei army from going south. Divide tens of thousands of troops to help the Lu Governor and defend Gaocheng."
"We have been raising troops in Soochow for many years, and we can still use this amount of troops. We only need to use up the food in Shu, and the war will naturally subside."
At this time, Soochow had 200,000 soldiers and horses on paper, and the warehouses were full of grain. It was considered the richest time.
As long as you are willing to be ruthless, Soochow will not lose to Cao, Wei, and Shuhan.
However, can Soochow really be so determined to spend time and money?
Sun Quan looked at the representatives of the aristocratic families with flashing eyes and different expressions on the field, and shook his head helplessly.
The Jiangdong nobles are both his armor and his prison. By that time, I'm afraid he won't even be able to become the King of Wu.
After a long silence, Sun Quan pulled Lu Fan over and asked softly.
"Zi Heng, do you think that if I give up the title of emperor now, will the Shu army be willing to stop fighting and make peace?"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Fan's eyes suddenly opened wide and he looked at Sun Quan in disbelief.
In addition to shock, his eyes showed deep disappointment.
