The battle between the Dragon Wolf Army and the Jiangdong Army in Xiakou was devastating.: Nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in the Jiangdong Army died, fleeing, captives, and surrenders. Half of the hundreds of warships were sunk, and the rest were captured by the Dragon Wolf Army. When the strategic area of ​​Xiakou was taken down by the Dragon Wolf Army, the last one left without soldiers was defended, and people were panicked and broke into Shaxian City, which was a blink of an eye.

In mid-June, the dragon and wolf army, which was powered by the great victory, launched hundreds of ships together, and raised thousands of sails, crossed south against the current, and set off troops on the river bank.

Xun You represented the commander of Longlang, General Ma Han, and entered the city to persuade him to surrender. Of course, the target of this persuasion was no longer Sun Quan, but the various aristocratic families in Jiangdong, and the Sun family was just one of them.

The war reached this point, there was no need to continue, and the Jiangdong family would no longer support the Sun family. Therefore, Xun You's persuasion to surrender this time was completed.

On June 20th, Zhang Zhao, represented by Zhang Zhao, Qin Song, Chen Duan, Li Shu, Cheng Pu, Yu Fan, Ling Tong and other important officials from aristocratic families went out of the city one after another to pay their respects to the general to show their sincerity to surrender. Soon, another person with great importance, Sun Jing, also represented the Sun family in Jiangdong, submitted talisman seals, books and surrender to the general.

At this point, the Jiangdong forces surrendered in full swing, and the Dragon Wolf's Southern Expedition ended perfectly.

Why was Sun Jingfeng surrendered to the testimony? The reason is that people sigh that Sun Quan was critically ill and Zhou Yu was dismissed.

Even though Sun Quan is not as strong as his brother Xiao Ba Wang, he is still a man who can throw a slaughter and shoot a tiger. In addition, he is young and strong, no matter how sad and depressed he is, at most he will fall ill. How can he be critically ill? The truth is that before he is critically ill, the word "severe injury" must be added.

On that day, the Tianhuo missiles in Xiakou were all hit, Zhou Tai, Huang Gai and Jiang Qin were all hit, and Zhou Tai was the worst injured. Until now, he has not escaped danger. Huang Gai and Jiang Qin were all injured by flesh and blood. Sun Quan also got one hit, but it was bad because his luck was too bad. Huang and Jiang were both hit by their hands and feet, and it would be fine if they were pulled out. They didn't even need to bandage the wound, but Sun Quan was "bounced" in his abdomen.

At that time, Sun Quan refused to speak up in order to stabilize the morale of the army. He couldn't stand it when he got on the boat and fell into a coma before he arrived at Shaxian. He rushed to a secret stronghold in Puqi Lake, 30 miles south of Shaxian. He was delayed in asking medical workers to rescue him. The reason why he was not sent back to Shaxian City was that Zhou Yu deliberately blocked the news to avoid causing a fatal blow to the morale of the army on the verge of collapse.

Sun Quan woke up after three days and three nights of unconsciousness. But this awakening was not a sign of improvement, because he was awakened by pain.

Sun Quan's situation is like in the later years of thermal weapons. When an explosion of shells or grenades was hit into the body, it must be removed by surgical operation, otherwise the prognosis would be dangerous. In the late Han Dynasty, only one person in the world could perform this caesarean section surgery. This person was the surgeon Huatuo. However, Huatuo, who lived in a place without a fixed place and traveled around the world, was unable to find a real person based on the information collection and transportation backwardness of this era.

Therefore, the medical workers could only watch the wounds become infected and suppurated, and the injuries continued to worsen, which finally made Sun Quan wake up in pain.

After Sun Quan woke up, he also knew that his fate would be soon. His brother, the little overlord Sun Ce, had a hole in his face, and his old karma burst and died. Now he had a hole in his abdomen, and his five-in-one inside was burning, and the high fever did not subside. Every breath seemed to be cut by a saw of flesh, and like being in purgatory, he would suffer every day of life. Even so, he would not have much chance to suffer because he would die at any time.

When Sun Jing held the talisman seal and surrendered to the general on the river bank outside the city to apologize for surrender, Sun Quan, on the bank of Puqi Lake, was dying and holding Zhou Yu's hand: "Gongjin, with his talent, he will be given a reward for his career in Luoyang... Cough cough..."

In just a few days, Zhou Lang from Jiangdong had become haggard and pale, and a hint of white frost appeared on his temples. You know, he was only twenty-seven years old at this time.

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Yu was entrusted by the former lord and assisted the Duke in completing his career and was determined. Although Ma Han is a hero, there is a sign of chaos in the government and hindering the king. If he follows Luo, there will be a bloody storm. Although Luoyang is good, it is not a place we can keep, so it is better not to go."

Even though Sun Quan was dying, he was shocked when he heard it: "Ma Han... cough cough cough... he actually..."

Zhou Yu sneered: "After Jiangdong, who can compete with Ma Han today? Liu Biao, the guardian, is old and his sons and nephews are all pigs and dogs. Ma Han takes the power of great victory and can be ordered to be buried in the head with a letter. Liu Zhang of Yizhou is weak and has no plans, and he acts in government orders, and he often benefits from the control of the Yizhou family. Ma Han only needs to send an eloquent person to Chengdu, divide and disintegrate, and make great profits. After the two states are pacified, Xiliang is held by the Ma family, and the world is back to the same. However, how should the court reward such a great general?"

Sun Quan was also a lord of more than a year. When he sat in this position, he would naturally start from the perspective of the superiors. He naturally thought of his suspicion of Zhou Yu at the beginning. In addition to being ashamed, he was also convinced by Zhou Yu's analysis. Indeed, even if he was a lord like him, he was afraid of the powerful as Zhou Yu. The power of the Ma Han is a hundred times better than Zhou Yu. How would the emperor, who is still unknown in the corner, face this powerful general like a giant?

Since ancient times, ministers are stronger than kings, who will have a good ending? Ma Han doesn't look like a loyal minister, but it is more similar to his heroes who have strange ambitions and rise in troubled times. After the victory of the Southern Expedition ends, he returns to Luoyang to the north, and this arrogant general will definitely have a fierce collision with the new king. As Zhou Yu said, blood-colored Luoyang is not a place where gentlemen can stay.

"In this way, how should Gongjin handle himself?"

Zhou Yu smiled indifferently: "The ambitions of life are hard to achieve, so why should I climb to the top? From then on, Yu closed his door and thanked the guests, built a hut in the deep mountains, and did not care about the world."

Sun Quan coughed again, feeling dizzy and his breath gradually became chaotic, and he forced himself to say the last sentence: "Old mother and young brother, I... entrust my husband... Gongjin..."

"The first lord, the lord's mother's brother, is also Yu's brother." Zhou Yu solemnly knelt down and bowed, solemnly promised, "Lord, please rest assured, Yu will do his best to ensure the safety of the lord's young brother. Lord... Lord!"

Amid Zhou Yu's sad call, the future Lord Sun Quan, who had not yet shown his majestic appearance, suddenly passed away on the bank of Puqi Lake 30 miles south of Shaxian. Later generations were called Red Cliffs.

After that, Zhou Yu really kept his promise and refused to recruit Ma Han many times, but refused to go to office. He took Mei to climb mountains all day long, expressed his love for mountains and rivers, and never mentioned political affairs. He actually lived for more than 20 years, far exceeding his original life span.

In July, the southern expedition was in full swing. Ma Han stayed with Taishi Ci as the prefect of Jiangxia, stationed 10,000 troops, and took his hands to lead a 30,000 army of dragon and wolf back north. However, Ma Han's route to return north was not to return along the original route, but to the Han River and head north along the river.

From the route, there is no problem with walking in this way. The army went upstream, passed Jingling, entered Nanjun, passed Yicheng and Xiangyang all the way, and quickly entered Nanyang. It took only ten or eight days to return to Luoyang from Nanyang. This is the fastest route to return to Luoyang north, and the whole journey is only more than 2,000 miles. The way to walk seems to be right. 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 step is taking advantage of the victory of the Southern Expedition, beating rabbits, the Sun family in Jiangdong, and the Liu family in Jingzhou, all of them will be solved.

...

August mid-autumn has passed, and the weather is getting colder, but the atmosphere in the Xiangyang Prefecture Muslim House Hall was dull and depressing. After hearing the chief clerk Kuai Liang remembered the battle between the Longlang South Expedition Army and the Jiangdong Army in Xiakou, every Jingzhou civil servant and military general present often raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, as if the meteor rain of fire was coming.

Kuai Liang stopped talking for a long time, and the hall was silent. Everyone's heart was heavy, and they were thinking about the same question: If outside Xiangyang City, tens of thousands of dragon and wolf troops were waiting for battle, hundreds of catapults were lined up, and the furnaces on both sides were burning, and iron balls were thrown into flames. When the pinch was out, it would be red and fire... Can they stop it?

"This is a copy of the military newspaper reported to the court by the general. I specially sent one to Xiangyang. Do you know the meaning?" The person who spoke was Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou. At this time, Liu Biao was 60 years old. Although his face was covered with thin powder, he could not cover up the conspicuous old spots. His eight-foot-foot body was slightly hunched, just as Zhou Yu said, he was old.

Cai He, the general of the Jingzhou naval army, said: "The Longlang Army returned north and went to Xiangjingzhou, which was a shortcut. I was afraid that our army would attack him, so I reported this to intimidate me, so I ordered my troops to stop the offense and provide supplies along the way..."

Liu Biao's nephew and Changsha Chief Commander Liu Pan said coldly: "Brother Cai means that the Dragon Wolf Army will pass around the city?"

Cai He evasively said: "I guess that's the case."

At that time, Liu Cong, the youngest son who had already been in charge of politics, sat upright at Liu Biao's head. Hearing this, he said loudly in a voice that had not yet escaped his childishness, "This is to force people with force and pretend to attack Guo."

Liu Biao stroked the young master's head in a doting manner and said lightly: "Even a young man knows what he wants. Ziping thought he had been at peace for too long, and he was happy and forgot about danger."

Cai He looked embarrassed. The generals in the hall were speechless, and everyone felt a clear mind. This was not Cai He’s slow, it was clearly intended to welcome the general. This was also the common idea of ​​the forces in Jingzhou, but it was not convenient to speak out.

Liu Qi suggested: "Why don't we gather skilled craftsmen to make the catapult? Isn't it possible to counter the Dragon Wolf Army?"

Everyone was speechless. This idea sounded like that, but how could such large-scale weapons be copied? There was no drawing, no real thing, no clue. What's more, the army was coming from hundreds of miles away, and construction started at this time, and the toys were just created.

Liu Biao waved his hand: "The Dragon Wolf is the personal army of the emperor, and the General is the relative of the royal family. You must not make any mistakes. The meaning of this is to ask you to plan a plan together, which can not only allow the Dragon Wolf army to pass through the border safely, but also ensure the peace of the river."

Everyone looked at each other. This requirement is too high. I... can't do it!

For a whole moment, no one said anything, and the atmosphere was suppressed again until it was broken by a panic report outside the mansion.

"Reported to Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu, led his troops to 5,000 troops, raided Xinye, and captured the city in half a day. At this time, the commander Hu Cheer was the vanguard, leading three thousand infantry and cavalry to pounce towards Xiangyang!"
